Current forecast
The ability to forecast the current financial year is still limited due to the economic conditions arising from the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic.
For 2020, the company expects to generate revenue between EUR 96 million and EUR 102 million and an EBIT margin of 8 to 12%.
The medium-term prospects for LPKF and in particular the growth prospects for the LIDE segment are unchanged. Given the stronger sales and earnings contribution from LIDE, the Management Board expects consolidated revenue of more than EUR 360 million, and an EBIT margin of over 25%, for 2024, with further growth after that.
This forecast is subject to stable growth in the global economy.
